CHICAGO, Nov. 6, 2018 /Christian
Newswire/ -- The most dangerous legislation ever to come out of the
revolutionary "gay" activist movement – the federal "Equality Act," which
proposes adding "sexual orientation" and "gender identity" as protected classes
in the Civil Rights code – hangs in the balance as Americans go to the polls
today.

Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) promised that if the Democrat Party wins back the House
and she becomes Speaker Pelosi, a
top priority will be passing the
Equality Act, which now has 198 co-sponsors in the House, all but two of
them Democrats.

Americans For Truth About Homosexuality (AFTAH.org)
president Peter LaBarbera has renamed the Equality Act the "Criminalizing
Christianity Act" and called it a "gay and transgender lawyers' dream bill." It
would effectively criminalize traditional morality and undermine religious
liberty by punishing Americans for living out their conscience on issues like
unnatural homosexual "marriage" ceremonies and taxpayer funding of grotesque
transsexual "sex-reassignment
surgeries" (masquerading as "health care").

In an
excellent article summarizing the Equality Act, Heritage Foundation scholar
Ryan Anderson writes, "By making 'gender identity' a protected class, the
government would force Americans to embrace transgender ideology in a variety of
settings...elevating "gender identity" to a protected class across our federal
antidiscrimination laws could impose a nationwide transgender bathroom policy, a
nationwide pronoun policy, a nationwide sex-reassignment health care
mandate...."

[Anderson's reference to a “pronoun policy" suggests government punishments for
people who use "he" or "him" to describe biological males who purport to be
"women," like "Caitlyn" Jenner. In defiance of biology and DNA,
LGBTQ activists insist that everyone use whatever pronoun and newfangled
descriptors they demand to describe the gender-confused.]

And yet, "Republican candidates and conservative alternative media are mostly
silent on the homosexual agenda, following the lead of the reflexively liberal
'mainstream' media, whose love of all things LGBTQ is eclipsed only by their
hatred of Donald Trump," he said.

LaBarbera said too many Republicans are petrified of the vocal LGBTQ Lobby, and
offered two examples of the GOP's curious silence on homosexual issues in the
mid-terms:

Arizona Democrat Senate candidate Kyrsten Sinema, an
irreligious ex-Mormon, openly describes herself as a "bisexual,"
and yet this is rarely mentioned by conservatives highlighting her radical
record. Until recently, "bisexuality" was regarded as extreme, even by many
homosexuals. (Sinema supports the Equality Act;
HRC endorsed her as a "staunch advocate for the LGBTQ community" and the
"first openly bisexual member of the House.")

In New Hampshire's Congressional District 1, openly
homosexual Democrat candidate Chris Pappas (also
endorsed by HRC) boasts about his support for abortion-on-demand,
taxpayer funding of Planned Parenthood, the LGBTQ Equality Act and
legislative bans on "conversion therapy" (pro-heterosexual talk therapy for
people with unwanted homosexual desires). Meanwhile, the website of his
opponent, Republican
Eddie Edwards, ignores these social issues.

"While social media corporation's liberal censorship is a huge
problem, conservatives' SELF-censorship is a bigger problem," LaBarbera said.
"If Christians and conservatives are afraid to even discuss the homosexual
agenda, how can we ever hope to defeat it?" He urged a wholesale rejection of
political correctness as modeled by President Trump.

"Here's the bottom line: the same social leftists who decades ago whined, 'Don't
impose your morality on us!' are working hard to impose their anti-Christian
IMMORALITY on everyone—and that's exactly what the federal Equality Act would
do. In the guise of expanding 'civil rights,' it would force Americans to honor
'Gay' instead of God, corrupting children and crushing freedom in the process."

In the days leading up to today's election, LaBarbera has been interviewed by
several Christian media outlets to discuss the LGBTQ election blitz and
Republicans' sexual morality self-censorship, including: AFA's "One
News Now," AFR's "Janet
Mefferd Live," VCY America's "Crosstalk"
and AFA of Pennsylvania's
radio talk show.
